I love dogs and have the best dog!

Pet care experience

Dog and cat lover, retired, lifelong pet sitter for friends. I'm around most all of the time, have a great house and yard, and love my dogs, and others.' I have taken care of my friends' pets for about 30 years, dogs and cats, walked and played with them, and loved them. I have my current dog for 11 years, and have also had parakeets, rabbits, cockatiels, and fish. I am flexible with times, have a solid, reliable car, and love to walk or run or bike with dogs. I travel with my own dog, who is a terrific companion and car traveler, and he is always welcomed in others' homes, as he is very well-behaved and affectionate. He is neutered and chipped, as I believe in being a responsible pet owner. I have recommendations as well that I can supply.

My pups enjoyed their stay with Michael, they were safe & happy. It's a quiet neighborhood with a trail they can walk on directly across from the house & he has a fenced yard. Michael was very accommodating of my schedule for drop off & pick up.

Michael was so friendly to work with, so accommodating, and sent me at least one update and picture of my dog during our 5 nights apart. She came home happy, and I’d gladly use his services again.

Michael is great with animals! I see him regularly with his dog Bob, they are rarely separated and clearly love and adore one another. Michael provides care for my two dogs when I'm out of town and I know I don't have to worry about a thing while I'm gone. He is very attentive to the dogs and cats needs, he never ignores them, he treats them like one of the family! He is extremely conscientious, you can be 100% confident your pet is getting excellent care. Your pets will love him! Mishele S.

Michael is a wonderful and thoughtful dog walker and sitter. He is very kind and caring with a very deep love and respect of animals. I have no reservations about entrusting him to care for my pet and have done so several times in the past and will continue to do so in the future.

Information Michael R. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know the dog's age and how well-trained he or she is, if they are affectionate, etc.

A typical day

I live on a very quiet 2 mile loop perfect for walking, and a forest walking trail, also, AND a fenced in dog park in my community. I will usually NOT accept dogs over 70 lbs. due to my safely walking dog concerns, my house's rooms size, and general large-dog handling issues.
